what a year. what a wonderfully blissful, challenging, frightening, calming, rewarding year. we welcomed beautiful, bright baby luke. cheered on jack as he became a proud big brother. celebrated accomplishments; my husband’s amazing sports marketing campaign. my ebook. magazine features. a natural birth. first year of preschool.we weathered a few storms together. the health of our boys....countless doctor appointments and hours of worry. gob-smacked by the cancer diagnosis for one of my very best friends. a fair amount of personal heartache and disappointment. doubt. and for it all, i am so thankful. so instead of the post with quick tips and insights i drafted, i’d like to just soak in these last moments of what has become a truly magical and inspiring year.

{a thousand thank yous to my friend, dawn, for capturing this moment in time for us}

This post is so beautiful. Life is always full of ups and downs but one constant is the love we have for our little ones. Your boys are adorable and I'm so thankful to have connected with you this year. Happy New Year xx
